It’s important that the food is just as good as the game if you’re planning on eating while watching the World Cup matches- but tonight more than any other- it’s imperative as England go up against Tunisia. And what better than a curry to get your taste buds all fired up if the rest of you is going to be too? If you're not convinced- here are 8 reasons why curry is the meal of choice for match day.
I say World Cup- you say curry!
Enjoying curry is a shared experience, so crack out the poppadums, get some friends over and gather round the TV to watch England win tonight
A good spicy curry is the perfect accompaniment to get you fired up and ready to watch The Beautiful Game
Curry is also a team sport – you can compete against who can take the hottest mouthful
Chillies in curry can help to lower blood pressure, which is always helpful while watching those nerve wracking penalty goals…
Opt for a take-away curry and you automatically cut down all the clearing and washing up, leaving time to dissect the final score
Curry has been proven in many a study to help you live longer – maybe even until England wins the World Cup again
Dry curries like chicken tikka, are healthy and filling – good for offsetting any accompanying beer
In time for the England game, Morrisons is launching the Volcanic Vindaloo – the hottest supermarket curry ever
Morrisons is launching the Volcanic Curry Bag – the hottest ever supermarket curry meal for two, that includes its ‘Volcanic Vindaloo’ made with Naga chillies.
England fans will no longer have to order a takeaway to get their half time chilli hit. They can get it with their weekly shop. And it’s only a fiver.
The Volcanic Curry Bag is aimed at extreme curry lovers who find the spice levels in ordinary takeaway bags too tame - supermarket bags often contain only semi-hot options.
What spicy curry lovers want is a chilli heat from EVERY component.
The new bag, which brings together two fiery new Morrisons products, as well as its Volcanic Vindaloo and Hot Chicken Tikka Masala, gives hard core chilli heads and curry aficionados no respite from the heat apart from the rice!
The new bag contains:
- 1 x Volcanic Vindaloo
- 1 x Hot Chicken Tikka Masala
- 2 x Chilli Naans
- 4 x Spicy Onion Bhajis
- 1 x pilau rice
The Naga chillies, used in the Volcanic Vindaloo has a Scoville rating of up to one million – 200 times hotter than Tabasco Sauce or a Jalapeño. Some Naga chilli varieties are hotter than pepper spray and others have been used to develop tear gas grenades. To add even more fire, the ‘Volcanic Vindaloo’ is also topped with whole green chillies - roasted to intensify the flavour and heat - in the unlikely event that a curry fans fancy an even bigger chilli hit.
To notify customers about the Volcanic Curry Bag’s extreme heat, it carries a warning notice and the supermarket has strongly recommended that only people over the age of 16 tackle the bag.
The Volcanic Curry Bag is available from all Morrisons stores from today until 22nd July, priced at £5.00.
